Engineer finds a ‘huge opportunity’ with the Auditel Franchise

March 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Initially, David trained as a Mechanical Engineer and he had progressed into senior management roles in several sectors. These included manufacturing, power generation, engineering and construction.

http://auditelconsultants.co.uk/davidjamieson recalls: ”I thought of starting my own business which is not an easy decision to make.  Many people move into self-employment as a result of redundancy with funding from whatever package they have received. However, in my case with a very good job in a very good company, I chose to forfeit my job security and corporate trimmings voluntarily to follow my gut instinct.”

David chose franchising and http://www.auditelfranchise.co.uk in particular, whilst surfing the internet for ideas. He needed his business to hit the ground running and could only do this with a proven product and a brand that had significant market presence. He adds: ”Auditel had both. Although the brand awareness was not as established in the North East as in other areas, I saw this as a huge opportunity due to the excellent service offering.

David explains: “I selected http://www.auditelfranchise.co.uk because of the professionalism and genuine sincerity they offered when assisting me to determine whether this was the right business for me. They stood head and shoulders above other Cost Management Specialists in terms of expertise and experience in this sector.”

He funded the capital investment himself and financed his living costs through a business loan. Auditel introduced him to two or three commercial bank managers all of whom were willing to fund his requirements. This was at a time when small business funding was scarce and it gave him added confidence that his investment was well placed.

David reveals: “The training and support that I receive from Auditel is exceptional and is everything they promised it would be. My business is growing steadily and is, in fact, ahead of forecast. I am learning from every project I deliver. For example, I have been able to save Newcastle Business Village £53,000 on their annual energy consumption.”  Village

Asked about his future, David enthuses: “I shall develop my business in both turnover and customer base. Expanding my services will give me the huge job satisfaction that I get from providing practical help to organisations in reducing their essential business costs. Nothing has changed my mind about this being the right decision!”

The Auditel concept was developed on the premise that all organisations pay for essential services. Utilities and telecommunications are two of those costs and when many essential service sectors underwent deregulation in 1991 it opened up these industries to competition. UK companies could shop around for the best prices from new providers entering the market.
The ever changing range of services available meant that many organisations did not know where or how to identify savings. The main problem is that few organisations have enough time or resources to track invoices, question charges and ensure quality of service from suppliers.
In 1994 Auditel was launched to offer a solution, a cost and purchase management consultancy that could focus independently on the essential services to cut through the confusion that UK businesses were facing.
Since this time Auditel has been training professionals into self employment and is now the leading cost and purchase management franchise.
